The problem with the factory Honda VFD displays is the power boards. The caps leak and can short out/damage the boards, a simple recap if they aren’t totally burned up is all that’s required
Thank you for providing the details. If you can fix the gauges with replacing capacitors, perhaps you can use this VFD display to show some additional data.
Coming from someone that’s into cars and also electronics, your videos make me want to start doing the same thing. Great videos as always!
Perfect, I would say go ahead, it´s a great feeling to finish some project. Good luck and thank you for your nice comment.
i know that feeling , i stumbled onto this channel which is great cause i got that older vehicle for these types of projects.
Man, you and VOLOS do some incredible work! 👍
Definitely agree with Volos projects, those are always great.
I cant explain how happy I am to see this video as I also have a 4th Gen Honda Prelude and am literally facing the same issue as your friens. Thank you so much for making this video.
That´s great to hear, I´m glad it was helpful. Good luck with your project!
This is really cool. I miss these types of displays from the 80's. It might even be cool to look into analog gauges using stepper motors.
Thank you, I miss those displays as well. They look great.
Your work is incredible and well appreciated. Teaching us all how to use these displays in new and effective ways. Sincere thanks from an ol' guy working and coding alone.
Thank you for your nice words, I really appreciate it!
I, too, like VFD displays. Great job!
Thank you!
Love your content SO MUCH!! 🔥🔥🔥
Glad to hear that, thank you for your continued support!
3:51 Мој земљак Мирко је најбољи, има супер пројекте 👍 . Али и ваши су интересантни 💣
Agreed, Mirko’s projects are great!
Awesome, I love VFD ! Great tutorial. I keep forgetting how powerful U8G2 is !
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
I have the very same display. Looking forward to seeing more videos about it~
Thank you. I will definitely include that display in my future projects.
Great works! 👍
The video cover aspects such as the hardware used, including the Arduino board and the VFD display module, as well as the software and libraries needed for programming and configuring the display.
Additionally, it could discuss any challenges faced during the development process and how they were overcome.
Overall, the video aims to showcase the creation of a custom instrument cluster using these components.
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
@@upir_upir we have esp32 smart tft display, knob display, amoled display and want to collaborate with you for creative projects. How can we get in touch with you ?
@@upir_upir we have good esp32 tft/amoled display and knob display for your creative GUI project. may I contact you for collabration?
Oh, this is nice. I am not in to cars, more about custom audio-visual thingies, so this is interesting to me too. 👍
I have seen many people try to use it for various meters / spectrum analyzers, I´m sure it would look great in some audio equipment.
This is great! I'd love a tutorial on how to wire this to a car to get the fuel gauge and coolant temp gauge to function. Bonus points if there's a way to hook it to a OBD2 port for easier plug and play wiring!
That´s exactly the plan!
@upir_upir that's amazing! When might we get the tutorial for complete gauge function & OBD2 function? I'm very excited
Very nice result. I have been thinking about making a custom dash display for one of my MiniEL-vehicles, but it takes time and effort :D
I would say go for it! You can always start small and expand it in the future.
The green squares could turn black when "going down" , but the black vertical lines should turn green so you can stil see the whole gauge.
Yes, there are multiple ways how to draw those gauges, this approach was the simplest, but I´m sure it could be expanded to look better. Thank you for your comment!
Good job Guy ;oP
Still as interesting and well explained :oP
Thank you, I´m glad you like it!
thank you for your amazing videos!
You are welcome!
Yes, I love VFD's. This makes me want to get back to finishing writing a driver for a 256x64 pixel noritake vfd I found for cheap on ebay. I remember getting simple text to work but couldn't figure out grayscale.
Please let me know if you do that, I would love to see it and I will definitely mention it in my video. By the way, have you ever get the planar EV display to work?
That's awesome. Love VFD's. I stull have somewhere sitting in my drawer 128x64, unfortunately without driver, waiting for better days...
Thank you! Yes, I would love to use 128x64px VFD one day, but those are very hard to find.
@@upir_upirI've got mine from aliexpress, but for some reason i thiught it did come with driver board, but it did not :(
My prelude has these and still work🎉
Great! It´s a nice car and definitely some unusual gauges.
@ I would have loved for the dash so be all vfd
Nice 🎉
Thanks 🤗
Very beautiful 😍
Thank you!
Thank's, very nice video.
Thank you!
best ever
Thank you!
New video everyone! Shhh it's started!
Hehe, thank you for your nice comment!
Espectacular !!!
Thank you!
Can you show how to actually wire these into the car? I’d especially like to see the shift knob one, that was a cool project.
I have already recorded two videos getting real data for the shifter project, have you seen those?
Mr Upir, I must ask. How does your car look with all gauges you made the last few months? You might want to install a bigger alternator to power them all to :)
Thanks for all your videos. Learning lots from them!
The thing is, I have to finally find some appropriate car to install this into. Thank you for your comment, I’m glad to hear that my videos are helpful!
it would be nice if you used the new r4 board from arduino as it has a CAN interface which will make it easier to connect your car gauge to the car easily using the CAN port in the car.
Yes, I would like to try that as well, hopefully soon.
Oo, retrowave🤟
Cyberpunk feel!
hey im fan of your work can u please make a gauge for battery voltmeter with round display
I have a lot of plans for my future projects, using more round displays is definitely on my list.
I think he really likes VFD displays...
Who doesn´t? :)
Prelude Love whaaaaaaa VTEC 😂
Hehe
Wow! I was just looking into retro style displays for my speeduino efi retrofitted first gen panda 4x4, this would be perfect to show data from the ecu while keeping the original aesthetic! If I can give suggestions, it would be really cool to look into how to reproduce the dashboard style of the Autobianchi y10 Solid State. I can’t leave a link unfortunately but if you search online it should pop up easily :) thank you
Thank you for your comment and for the tip for the Autobianchi y10 digital cluster - that´s as retro as it could be, I like it! I will definitely try to recreate such dashboard in my future videos. Also, good luck with your project, I´m sure this would look great in your car.
When you get it finished enough to install into the car, you should have it show a full screen Honda logo when it starts up.
Good idea, I will definitely try that!
I have a 1986 300zx with the digital dash and every day I’m worried something on it is going to go out. Maybe I could recreate the original dash using this type of process to keep it alive into the future.
The 1986 300zx is my favorite digital dash, one day I would like to recreate it! Anyway, looks like most VFD problems are usually with power supply and capacitors, so it could be possible to fix if something goes wrong..
Hey super tutorial, but how do you connect to the honda prelude ?
I´m sorry, I was only working on the displays-part of this project. I have some other tutorials that describes connecting to OBDII and to various sensors, but I´m not quite sure what would be the actual connection to this particular car.
@upir_upir oh okay thanks
Its dont have OBDII so i have to search by myself
Thanks you a lot for the projects !
ha ha ha - the display at the link on Ali Express is $952 USD... Hopefully you didn't pay that much.
The seller say "50pcs"
@@amsmuh that’s $19 per unit, if you can buy them individually then that’s not a bad price
I haven´t noticed it, the link should be fixed now for just one unit. That said, I have paid I believe around $100 for this unit, and it seems to be selling for $50 now. I need to buy more of those :)
Are you sure the display is 50px tall? Mine is actually 48. The description on aliexpress was wrong for me.
I think there are two different versions, one being 50px and the other one 48px tall.
@@upir_upir thank you I will check
Have you figured out how to utilize that photoresistor?
I should be as simple as getting the analogread value from the corresponding pin. I will try it in the next video.
@upir_upir allright, thanks! Great video as always!
Can we get a video of it working in the car?
Yes. I do plan to combine this video with my previous video using OBDII and show real values soon.
Hey so I am a high school student and have a question. I have a project to make a digital dashboard (cockpit) display for a car. Is it possible to make it using Arduino, Raspberry PI or something like that? And how do I connect it to a car?
Thanks
Yes, you can use any of those microcontrollers, and I have a few more videos about the connection to the car / sensors. Please check those out.
Am I about to redesign and produce the old a70 supra digital dashes? Probably not. Do I want to really bad? Absolutely
I vote for doing this, that would be pretty cool!
What type sensor has to interface in this Arduino?
You can use any sensor, I already have a video about using temperature sensor with Arduino board.
Hey Upir!
Will you ever apply these things to a real car? :)
Yes, soon! :)
How about hud any plans or concepts?
You mean with VFD display? That might be an interesting combination, since it has quite a high brightness.
can you make vfd tachometer please?
The old VFD's in the car can be fixed.
If it´s only a problem with some capacitors, than yes, but if the glass has cracked and you no longer have vacuum, it might be quite challenging to fix it.
Another awesome video. Love it. What is your opinion on using Platform IO on vscode to do this sort of thing? I imagine it won't be too difficult? Love these videos.
Thank you. I haven´t used Platform IO yet, but it´s surely on my todo list to try.
Zack Freedman from Voidstar Labs wants to know your location X)
Hehe. Does he use VFDs? I need to check his videos again.
Yeah he's used them a couple times I can think of. His Pip Boy project comes to mind first
Try to make esp32 gps speedometer
Yes, I will definitely try that!
"VFD display" - vacuum fluorescent display display 😂
Since the VFD could also be Variable-frequency drive, sometimes it´s necessary to mention the word "display".
@@upir_upir Yes, if we were talking about variable frequency drives 🤣
